Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) had a strong message Saturday for President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz: “Get the hell out.”

I tried to figure a way to download the video. Several sites said it was possible, but could not find one that actually worked.
I placed a “request” for the file to be made available in MP4 format and to purchase a copy. Will see how long it takes to get an e-mail back from them.
I would love to show this to my friends at the next County GOP meeting.
Considering that after Reagan, Republican presidents have been fully cooperative in prosecuting in-the-trenches Republican loyalists at every Rat partisan squawk about "ethics", I consider your opinion to be proven fact.
We see the kinves put now for Newt, Santorum, Bachman, Caine, and Palin in 2008.
I would have loved to serve under a commander like Colonel West during my 24 years in the AF. I would have loved even more to have someone like him as my Commander-in-Chief...Clinton signed my retirement and it will never be hanging on my wall.
No offense intended, but, after 24 years of devoted service, it’s a shame your papers had to be endorsed by “I loathe the military” Clinton.
Thanks for sharing. God willing, this man will be President some day, and hopefully soon.
I would love to see this man cut lose on the D.C. establishment. We might get better results with a few rounds between their legs than we do by compromise.
It is that time.
And I agree .
How can anyone disagree with that?
Did West, or did he not, vote in favor of NDAA?
I really need to know before I start praising this man.
About time someone said it.
Reminds me of the mug shots in the local newspaper of three teenagers recently arrested in our area. I wonder: WHY do people hold their chins up that high? I was taught to look folks in the eye; not to look down on people...
RIGHT ON! RIGHT ON! (as Rush would say.)
I think I’m in love
Amen!
Jimmah signed my Commission and I wish to God ithad been someone else
Now you’re talkin’. Instead of giving us endless lectures on what we should be doing, they should pack their bags.
You can take it to the bank that the RATagandists are frantically manufacturing baggage for West as we speak.
I love Allen West.
“The 2012 defense bill is a key mechanism by which the Congress of the United States fulfills its constitutional responsibility to provide for the common defense. This bill marks the 50th consecutive enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act, and I am proud to have served as a Core Conferee working on the final language that passed the House of Representatives with bipartisan support by a vote of 283-136.
“Included in the Fiscal Year 2012 NDAA are two of the three YouCut bills that I introduced on March 29, 2011 which will generate a total savings of more than $180 million in wasteful DOD spending through 2016. One of these – H.R. 1246 – passed the House of Representatives unanimously by a vote of 393-0. As a Freshman Member of the United States Congress, I am proud the 2012 NDAA includes my bipartisan provisions that target wasteful spending at the Department of Defense.
“Ten years after September 11, 2001, the extremist and terrorist threat against the United States and our allies continues to evolve. As we begin drawing down forces in Afghanistan, and are conscious of the rise of al Qaeda affiliates in places like Yemen, the 2012 NDAA recognizes the war against radical Islam is broader than operations in any single country. The bill strengthens policies and procedures used to detain, interrogate, and prosecute al Qaeda, the Taliban, affiliated groups, and those who substantially support them. And finally, the NDAA recognizes the importance of investing in future capability and technology and of ensuring DOD has robust capabilities, especially those residing within Special Operations Forces, to meet emerging challenges on the battlefield of today and in the future.”
Yes, he did indeed, the above quote released by him in that regard. West does have some contradictory actions and words in his past; but, most politicos do (not excusing him). He also voted for one of the stimuli programs I believe, an act which caused his local tea party to threaten him with a primary opponent; but, if he is redistricted out of a seat, it is a moot point. Anyway, with comments such as those in the video, I’ll give him a huge cheer and maybe the benefit of a doubt.
